THE WESTERN EARTHQUAKES.

As fuller news comes in regarding the late
Western earthquakes II becomes evident that
though tho first intelligence of them reached
us from Arizona, that was not the centre Of
the disturbance. The effects in Sonora arc
now known TO have been much more serious
than in the ncighboring Territory. and it is
beginning to look as if the commissions had
really been widely extended and remarkable
in their transforming influence Though the
first statements as 10 the appearance Of active
volcanoes in Arizona have been contradicted,
it is now said that volcanic outbreaks have oc-
Cured in the Sierra Nevada range, and dis
patch from Guaymas TO San Francisco journal
asserts that the most serious loss of life, in
volvng the overwhelming Of 80 people at
Montezuma, was the direct result Of such a
volcanic eruption. No doubt it viii be neccs
sary to await further and more careful invcsti-
CATION before any certainty can be reached as
to the full extent and character of the late
disturbances, but enough seems known already
TO warrant the inference that they have been
important.
The report that canons usually dry at this
season have been found full of water since
the earthquake, may perhaps be taken with
allowance. Earthquakes no doubt frequently
affect springs, but they much more frequently
cause them TO disappear than they produce
new ones. The water in the canons may be
the result Of a seismic diversion of old water
courses or there may have been an aqueous
eruption, as sometimes happens. In any case,
if the news is true, the event is fortunate, sup.
posing the sources of the water to be perma-
nent. A still more curious and exciting re-
port is to the effect that the fall Of part Of q
mountain in the Santa Catalina range has UNI
covered two apparently rich aurferous veins.
Such q report will assure a prompt examina-
ton of the region, if it does nothing more.
The Mexican men Of science are said to have
predicted-rathcr tardily, it appears-general
earthquake disturbances through the republic,
though what value the statement has car only
be oonjectured at present, and there Is nothing
to show that Mexican scientists possess any
special Or private information IN the premises.
Earthquakes cannot be foretold, though In the
case of active volcanoes eruptions may be.

Defences of Secretary Bayard's diplomacy
are necessarily intricate and confused. One
of the best of these apologies is made by "The
Boston POST which attempts to prove that
" there has been no swerving from the right
line on the part Of the Administration 1t
refers to Secretary Bayard's draft Of pro-
posed convention as the logical and consistent
sequence of the negotiations up TO that time.
That draft was based upon the Treaty OF 1918,
the Secretary proposing that steps should be
taken to define the regulations relating to the
inshore fisheries and also to interpret the rights
of entrance and of purchase of supplies by
Ideep-sea fishermen. In response Lord Sails
bury suggested return to the Treaty Of
Washington, a proposition so untimely and
unwanantable that "The Boston Post In
teprcts it as warning that no settlement was
wanted. 1t also makes the amusing suggestion
that the Tory Government bad become con-
WINGED that Mr. Clcveands Administration
was influenced in its fisheries policy by Amer-
can sympathy for Ireland, and therefore disin-
clincd to continue the negotiations. COnse-
quenty, Lord Salisbury shifted the controversy
to new ground, the Treaty of Washington
whereas Bayard, in discussing methods of rem
dering the Treaty of 1918 effective, was

ernment has maintained from the first
From the first our genial Democratic
contemporary remarks Has 1t forgotten, then,
what was the first step taken by Secretary
Bayard in these negotiations The fisheries
clauses of the Treaty of Washington had been
abrogated by Congress. Three months before
those clauses were to expire by proclamation,
the Secretary struck bargain with the British
Minister whereby the operation Of that Treaty
was prolonged for six months. That was the
beginning Of the Administrators fisheries
policy; and in December, 1885, the President
followed the Secretary's advice and recon-
mended the appointment of an international
commission for reviving the provisions which
had been formally abrogated by his predecessor
with the authority Of Congress. The Administra
toms diplomacy at the outset was grounded
upon the Treaty Of Washington and we can
not perceive that there was anything illogical
in Lord Salisbury's interrupting the discussion
relating to the Treaty of 1918 and bringing in
the Treaty Of 1870. Lord Salisbury was sim
